Aspiring artists are being given the chance to have one of their very own custom designed guns included as unlockable content in the upcoming Army of Two. Along with designing the gun, a 500-word description will have to be written describing how the gun works. The contest is only open to those 17 or older who live in North America. The contest runs until June 15th. Check out the official website for more details.

EA has announced that fans of lethal weaponry with a penchant for art can design a gun to feature as unlockable content in its upcoming shooter, Army of Two.

A quick glance over Army of Two's official website shows that two winners will see their weapon design modelled and included as an "unlockable element in and available to users who preorder the Army of Two video game for the Xbox 360".

Budding gun creators should their weapon design to the website, along with a 500-word description explaining how it works - things like how it shoots, reload times and the ammo capacity.

Unfortunately, the contest is only open to North American residents aged 17 or over. Submitted weapons appear on the site where visitors can vote on their favourite. The top ten are then judged by EA officials on their originality, appropriateness, visual appeal and feasibility of in-game integration.

EA's competition runs until June 15 and winners will be announced on the site on June 19.
